Re: Muslims are MORE free to speak their mind in Pakistan then they are in US
im not disagreeing with the argument. i do feel safer expressing contrarian political views in Pakistan than I used to in the US. however, even the terror suspects you cite had something more concrete than just freedom of speech issues to tie, usually something like connections with some guy who knew some guy etc. While you may argue about whether thats fair, it still isnt just about freedom of speech.
part of why its safer in Pakistan though is that Pakistan doesnt yet have the means to lend a ear to its citizens at the scale the US does.
GEO is much bolder than I've ever seen american mass media to be, credit to them. and if FOX/CNN etc tried something like that Im sure they'd feel some (strictly institutional and legal) pain.
Not bad, I was expecting a different stance on this issue from you. This post comes as a pretty surprise to me.
Yes, many of those "terrorists" had some link to a guy who knew a guy who knew a another guy.... But there are few cases where innocent people in Pak and other countries disappeared on being verbally abusive towards the USA.
Til today no one knows were they are. Those who have been lucky were released after 1-3 years imprisonment.
In these cases you must blame both Pak (or any country supporting these acts) and USA for violating human rights.
